Did you know? MOE’s Secondary 1 posting results page is the official starting point for the result, while the linked appeal for school transfer page explains what to do after the result. The result page gives the current release arrangements and activates the S1 Portal when results are available.
The appeal route depends on the reason. MOE’s current page separates serious medical-condition appeals, which go through the posted secondary school, from non-medical appeals, which are submitted directly to the preferred school under that school’s process. Do not send one generic appeal to every channel.
Keep the posted school place active while an appeal is considered. For a non-medical transfer, MOE says the child must meet the preferred school’s Secondary 1 posting cut-off point and admission criteria, and the school must have a vacancy. An eligible appeal is therefore not a guaranteed transfer.

Retrieve the official result
The MOE result page tells families how the current posting result will be released. For the 2026 exercise it currently lists online access through the S1 Portal using a parent’s Singpass, SMS and the child’s primary school. Reopen the page near release day because a stated date can be tentative and the portal button is activated for the exercise.
Save the result slip or official notification and read the posted school’s registration instructions. A posting result is not an examination appeal: it is the outcome of the school posting process, so the transfer page—not the SEAB results-appeal route—is the relevant source.
Choose the correct appeal route
For serious medical conditions, MOE directs the family to appeal through the school to which the child was posted. The current page gives a short deadline and explains the supporting route. Use the posted school promptly instead of contacting a preferred school as if this were an ordinary transfer request.
For non-medical reasons, submit directly to the preferred school and follow its website. Schools manage their own appeal cases and may request documents or additional information. Check the school’s current page after results are released; a form or deadline copied from an earlier cohort may no longer apply.
Understand the school checks
MOE says a non-medical appellant must meet the preferred school’s cut-off point for the current Secondary 1 posting exercise as well as the school’s admission criteria. The school must also have a vacancy. Meeting the cut-off point is a necessary check, not a promise of acceptance.
Cut-off points are outcomes of that year’s posting and are published after results. Do not use an older score range as if it were the current threshold. Also keep Posting Group placement separate from the individual G1, G2 or G3 subjects a school may later offer a student.
Protect the posted place
MOE advises students seeking a transfer to continue attending the posted secondary school while waiting. Read that school’s reporting and registration instructions and complete the actions needed to hold the place. An appeal should not create an avoidable gap at the start of Secondary 1.
Keep a record of the appeal form, documents and confirmation. If the outcome is pending, check the preferred school’s stated communication method rather than assuming silence means approval. The school may need time to process cases after the new term begins.
